I’m not sure why I never joined this thread.
(this first post is a long one but read on because there’s a tasting event on Monday 8/7 I’m inviting you to)
After 20 hours driving Longcruiser with
@nakman I just caught up on 13 pages.
Anyone here have impressions on Laws? I got this through a raffle.

Yes. I love Laws. My local liquor store here and Sloans Lake had a nice barrel selection of years ago that I splurged on and I’ve been a fan ever since.
I like the Bullitt and Redemption Rye for my mixed rye drinks. Both those are around $25
Try the redemption rye 7 year. one of the best I've ever had. and well, i've had a lot. (it's around 75.00)

I love that redemption.
In my experience, solid whiskeys are between $55 and $65. Really good whiskeys are $75+, but they're less reliably so. AD Laws, Breck, Redemption 7, are all really good.
My sponsor is my high school buddy Dave Schmier. Dave created Redemption Rye. I’m so glad to see fans of redemption here. One day the original three bottle pack showed up at my house and I knew Dave had a home run. There’s lots a great spirits that either don’t get marketing well or are in an over saturated segment like vodkas. Dave was early on the rye train. Some would say he was one of the starters. That name redemption rye was just so easy it rolled off the tongue as good as the rye.
After selling the brand, he created a new brand called Proof and Wood. And bought an orange Porsche. Used but still….
Dave was also the ultimate inspiration for me buying LongCruiser. That’s one I’ll tell in person.
Since he made me do something so fantastically, wonderful, reckless, stupid and fun, only natural that he is the official sponsor of LongCruiser. In other words, for me being an idiot and a couple of stickers he keeps my bar stocked.
Fresh stock arrived today.
Look them up. These are all award-winning spirits.
And now, an amazing opportunity happening this Monday night at 7 PM.
Hello Denver Drammers! We have a fun announcement to share — this coming Monday, August 7th starting at 7pm, we’re excited to welcome as our guest speaker Dave Schmier, the founder of many great whiskey brands including Proof & Wood Ventures, Tumblin’ Dice, The Senator and (in a prior life)

Dave can get a few people in. Not sure how many. If you’re interested and available either post up here or PM or text me. I’ll keep track of who’s interested and reach out to Dave Sunday night to see how many we got and how many we want to get in.
My current plan is to drive longcruiser downtown around six and work real hard to get parking close to, or even in front of the bar on Larimer Street. You’d be welcome to to meet me at my house and Sloans Lake for the drive down and it’s under $10 to Uber back if you need to leave downtown before I did. Or meet at the bar.
If you read this far than one more comment. In January, I was hanging out with Dave and got to meet Jared wrap up in Vail. Jared is one of the owners of Traverse City Whiskey. Quite tasty. Having some now.
